SYMONE SANDERS: I am happy he used the words "KKK," "white supremacy" today, now I need his words to line up with his actions. We know that there's been a policy change in the Trump administration, where white supremacists have been taken off of a list of groups that are monitored by the counterterrorism program, I think they need to be put back on, I think we can all agree with that right now.

Also, there are white supremacist sympathizers currently serving in our administration right now, in the people's house. And I would call on President Trump to -- Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka, they need to go.

[...]

JOSHUA GREEN: We'd been in a situation like this during the campaign. Hillary Clinton in August gave a big speech condemning the "alt-right," and Trump for having hired Bannon specifically because of these Breitbart connections, and Trump saw no need then to apologize or modulate or get rid of Steve Bannon, and it didn't cost him in the polls.

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Joining us now is Dr. Sebastian Gorka. And I can officially announce today he is a Fox News national security strategist. ... One, welcome to the Fox family. You know how much I love having you on the program. You're a true patriot hero and an amazing, amazing political analyst and strategic analyst. Thank you for being with us and we're so happy for your success.

SEBASTIAN GORKA: It's in large part, really, thanks to you, Sean. You've been a great supporter, not only of myself, but of the administration and the president, and it's great to be back as part of the superb Fox family. Thank you, Sean.

2. A sampling of Hannity's own chummy behavior with Nazis/White-SupremacistsHannity turns to white supremacists to help him spite Keurig for pulling ads from his showAssociations further prove that Hannity is volatile and bad for business - On November 11, Keurig, a coffee-maker brand, announced it was dropping Fox’s Hannity in response to Hannity’s irresponsible defense of Roy Moore and attacks on victims who come forward with their stories of sexual harassment and abuse. After Hannity ginned up outrage that evening, his supporters responded with a #BoycottKeurig campaign, which apparently entails angry fans destroying their Keurig coffee makers, filming the process, and uploading the result to the internet. Hannity gleefully egged on and encouraged the boycott against his former advertiser (which remains a Fox News advertiser) by promising giveaways to the best #BoycottKeurig videos and by retweeting and amplifying his Keurig-smashing supporters, including one that promoted actual white supremacist Angelo John Gage.

As documented by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), Gage is a white nationalist known for “making YouTube videos warning of ‘white genocide’ [and] leading his youthful band of white nationalists on college campuses to protest the Marxist takeover of American higher education.” In 2015, Gage served as the chairman of the “youth wing of the radical-right … American Freedom Party." Gage has also appeared on Radio 3Fourteen, a production of Red Ice TV, a white supremacist and anti-Semitic online media outlet that promotes Holocaust denial. On his own YouTube channel, Gage has passionately defended the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, VA, saying, “I don’t care if Hitler was at the rally.”

In his feverish promotion of the Keurig boycott, Hannity also amplified a piece of content from the far-right website The Red Elephants, characterizing it as “so so funny!” The piece was written by Vincent James (also known as Vincent James Foxx), who appeared in a video that features threats of killing left-wing protesters.

The Red Elephants’ Twitter account habitually traffics in white supremacist memes (like the promotion of the message board-originated “it’s OK to be white” campaign that supposedly seeks to expose anti-white racism) and racist tropeslike claiming “race and IQ correlate.” @TheRedElephants also engages with known white nationalists like Timothy Gionet -- known online as Baked Alaska -- and dabbles in conspiracy theories, like promoting the false claims that Democratic operatives ran a pedophilia ring under a family restaurant in D.C.

All in all, Hannity might not be making the best case for himself that he’s a commercially stable and reliable person to advertise with.

DR. CAROL SWAIN: Well, one of the reasons why they are having so much difficulty communicating to people is that they are blurring distinctions among and between Americans, and they're painting everyone with the same broad brush.

When I wrote the book The New White Nationalism in America: Its Challenge To Integration, I called it "The New White Nationalism" to distinguish it from old-style white supremacy.

And I would argue that there are four groups of white Americans, the white supremacists, tiny percentage of Americans.

But a much larger group that I would call "new white nationalists" or "alt-right," who are not necessarily espousing any hatred towards other groups, but they are making a case for white rights, white identity, for white people to organize.

And then you have white people who are just trying to make a living. They may have voted for Donald Trump, but they are concerned about America.

And then the last group are the leftist whites that are trying to overthrow the country.

"Of all the animosities which have existed among mankind, those which are caused by difference of sentiments in religion appear to be the most inveterate and distressing, and ought most to be deprecated.
